Title: 28mm Schuma?
Post by: LordSpode1879 on January 06, 2017, 06:36:15 PM

Wanting to expand into Partisan warfare on the Eastern Front! Can anyone suggest suitable figures in 28mm? I have them in 20mm from Platoon20 but now need to go up a scale

Sadly none of them seem to have the required Schuma, partisans aplenty though?

I've got a boatload of partisans set up for the eastern front - unpainted, sorted (+ extras) if you are interested. I would let them go for a deal. Consists of Warlord, BTD, Eureka(?), and Copplestone(?) lot's of fur hats and PPsh-41's.

PM me if you are interested.

EDIT - TT beat me to it  ;)

He's looking for counter-Partisan troops called the Schuma (Schutzmannschaft) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schutzmannschaft)  :)

I've been looking at photo's of them on google and to me they look like ordinary German soldiers but with caps, side caps or fur hats. Some uniforms look more Russian though.

The left one looks like he's wearing a black Wehrmacht uniform, the middle one a Russian one and the right one German again.

They look like Germans in greatcoats, although these are Ukrainian officers of the Schutzmannschaft Battalions 102, 115 and 118.

Ukrainian Schuma in German looking black uniforms.

The black uniforms were I think old Algemeine SS uniforms collected and sent east

 I have a few heads (helmeted etc) that might be of use for conversions : Slovakian,Serbians,Cossaks,several types of German head gear side caps,Officers caps,Different helmet versions,etc.
 Plus I produce Dutch,Romanians etc that migh be good for these conversions.
 Cheers
